Chapter 307 Sect Secrets
Shaky.

In a daze, Pei Jingque opened her eyes with some difficulty.

She felt a warm current flowing into her meridians from her back, gradually soothing the wounds in her body.

The shared essence and familiar aura behind her caused her subconsciously tense body to relax.

"Junior brother..."

"I'm here."

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged behind her, gently pressing his palms on her acupoints, channeling his true energy into her to help her heal.

This battle is about to begin.

Pei Jingque, as the main damage dealer, faced the Tier 3 monster Rock Armor Crocodile head-on, giving it his all.

The injuries were even more serious.

With depleted essence and blood, weakened spirit and soul, and a body on the verge of collapse, it would be difficult to recover completely without several years of recuperation.

"Unexpectedly..."

A smile appeared on Pei Jingque's pale face:
"We actually succeeded!"

"Nine times out of ten, I'll survive." Zhu Ju sighed, then gently shook his head.
"In the end, the monster self-destructed its inner core, destroying most of its body, and we didn't get any benefit from it."

"Being able to survive is the greatest benefit." Pei Jingque, however, was quite philosophical about it, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"This is where?"

The two were inside a carriage, which then took off into the air, with white clouds below.

Gu Rusong and several of his younger relatives rode on cranes, following closely behind.

"On the way back."

Zhu Ju spoke:
"Senior Sister has been unconscious for ten days. We have now almost left the area full of gaps and are heading towards the sect."

"Mm." Pei Jingque nodded, gently stroking the carriage, a faint smile appearing on his face:
"A painted carriage?"

"Turning the illusory into the real, Junior Brother's spell is quite exquisite."

The carriages where the two people were and the cranes beneath the disciples, though seemingly lifelike, were actually formed from ink.

The key is.

Carriages can carry people, and cranes can take flight.

Although this kind of magic has no power, it is very exquisite and breathtaking.

"This is the art of disguise," Zhu Ju said.
"It's easy to draw the skin of a tiger, but difficult to draw its bones. This skill can at most imitate the aura of others, and is not very useful."

"Not bad." Pei Jingque shook his head.

"It's at least stronger than many illusions."

With her profound cultivation and status as the sect leader of the Mingxu Sect, she was well-informed and could immediately see that the essence of this "Painted Skin Technique" was illusion, but it was far more sophisticated than ordinary illusions.

"Well……"

She moved her body, but the pervasive stinging pain made her eyes ache and beads of sweat appear on her forehead.

He took out a few pills from his storage bag and swallowed them, and his condition improved slightly.

"Ok?"

Pei Jingque's eyebrows twitched slightly. He took out a communication talisman, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression immediately darkened.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ju asked.
"Something happened?"

"Yes." Pei Jingque nodded slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Dong from the Hundred Flowers Sect sent a message saying that they were intercepted by demonic cultivators on their way back."

"She's alright, nothing serious happened."

"The Wu family group was almost completely wiped out. The head of the Wu family died, and only one Qi Refining cultivator managed to escape."

"Wu family..."

She gently shook her head:
"It's probably all over!"

The Wu family has put a lot of effort into exploring the Void Rift Secret Realm, and even brought the core bloodline of the family's direct lineage. Their gains in the secret realm should be considerable.

result……

Not only did the younger generation suffer heavy losses, but even those at the Foundation Establishment stage did not escape the calamity.

The Wu family was already struggling, and now they have suffered such a calamity. Almost all of them, except for those who stayed behind, have been wiped out. It is uncertain whether they can survive until the next opening of the Void Rift Secret Realm.

"Demon monk..."

Zhu Ju frowned:

"This is already the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and yet demonic cultivators have infiltrated here. It seems that the frontline defenses are now riddled with holes."

"Yes." Pei Jingque nodded.

"We need to be careful."

At this moment, she was seriously injured and had no strength to fight.

Zhu Ju's situation is slightly better, but his strength has been greatly reduced, less than one-tenth of what it used to be. If he were to encounter a demonic cultivator, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter any danger along the way.

Perhaps their bad luck had run out, because the group returned to their sect safely two months later.

…………

Mingxu Sect.

Side hall.

After a period of recuperation, Pei Jingque, whose face had regained some color, sat upright in the main seat.

Zhu Ju and Liu Huang'er sat on either side.

"Sister."

Liu Huang'er asked:
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you should focus on recovering. We can talk about anything else once you're fully recovered."

"It's alright." Pei Jingque smiled faintly.

"With the thousand-year-old elixir you gave me, my injuries are no longer a big problem. I will be able to fully recover in a few more years."

"and……"

"There are some things that need to be said."

As the sect leader of the Mingxu Sect, she not only inherited the position of sect leader, but also knew many secrets.

Many secrets are known only to the sect leader.

but……

With the rampant spread of demonic forces, and the former superior sect of the Mingxu Sect, the Yuxu Sect, no longer existing, it is no longer meaningful to continue keeping many secrets according to the old rules. If something happens to her, many secrets will be unknown to anyone.

So after thinking about it for a while, Pei Jingque decided to tell the two of them.

As for Zhai Qingfeng...

He was not a disciple of the Mingxu Sect, but a guest elder recruited by them, so there was no need to inform him.

After pursing his lips and pondering for a moment, Pei Jingque slowly spoke:
“Junior brothers and sisters, you have all cultivated for many years. You should know that what we seek in cultivation is to attain the Golden Core and form the Nascent Soul.”

"Above the Nascent Soul Realm is another realm called the Deity Transformation Venerable."

The two nodded.

Grandmaster of the Golden Elixir.

Nascent Soul True Person.

A Nascent Soul Master!
These are the three great barriers on the path of cultivation. Each time you overcome one, you take a step closer to the Great Dao.

However, no Nascent Soul cultivator has been born for thousands of years, and Nascent Soul cultivators are extremely rare.

For many cultivators on the Dao Foundation stage, attaining the Golden Core stage is the lifelong aspiration of many.

"Then do you know..."

Pei Jingque said slowly:

"Are there actually cultivation realms above the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Hmm?" Liu Huang'er blinked:

"I've heard that after the Nascent Soul stage, there are realms such as Integration, Tribulation Transcending, Mahayana, and even Ascension to Immortality. However, these are all nonsense. Since ancient times, there have been very few Nascent Soul Venerables, and no one has ever truly stepped into the later realms."

"As for ascending to immortality..." She shook her head slightly, clearly believing it to be just a rumor or a beautiful lie.

"No!"

Pei Jingque said calmly:

"These are all true."

"what!"

"Ok?"

Liu Huang'er and Zhu Ju were taken aback. They looked at each other and could clearly see the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Really?"

Liu Huang'er frowned deeply:
"Are there really immortals in the world?"

“At least, there was once.” Pei Jingque took a deep breath and said:

"The Jade Void Sect's lineage comes from a certain immortal, or rather, the Jade Void Sect once produced an immortal."

"and……"

"More than one!"

"This..." Liu Huang'er looked puzzled:
"It is said that immortals are ageless and immortal, and can live forever. So where have they gone now?"

"The Six Paths Demon Lord is merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he has already overwhelmed the righteous path. Why haven't any immortals intervened to stop him?"

Let alone immortals, even a random Nascent Soul cultivator could easily suppress the current chaos.

pity.

not at all.

Liu Huang'er clearly still didn't believe it.

"Junior Sister," Pei Jingque sighed.

"When I first heard this news, I was also puzzled and even skeptical."

"However, this is a secret known only to the sect leader of the Mingxu Sect, passed down through generations, and it is unlikely to be false."

She took a deep breath and continued:

"In ancient times, all realms were interconnected and the Great Way flourished."

"Some mortals receive the blessings of immortals and gain immortality; some beasts are enlightened by deities and become revered ancestors..."

"One can travel freely between the myriad realms, and there are countless methods of cultivation. Immortals reside in every realm."

"Until the great calamity erupted, all the immortals perished, all realms collapsed, and the Great Dao became poisonous, making it difficult for others to enjoy it."

Myriad realms, immortals, great calamity...

"Sister."

Zhu Ju frowned:

"Even if what you say is true, and immortals really did exist, it seems meaningless to us."

Ok?
Pei Jingque raised an eyebrow slightly.

When she first learned of this secret, she was shocked and it took her a long time to recover.

Just like Liu Huang'er, who is now dumbfounded.

Zhu Ju, however, was different.

Upon hearing the news, his expression didn't change much; he treated it as just a story and went straight to the heart of the matter.

Pointless!

indeed.

The truth of events from ancient times is hard to discern, and even if it were true, it would be meaningless to them.

"Junior Brother's temperament is truly extraordinary."

Pei Jingque sighed softly and said:
"During the great calamity, all the immortals have perished, and their original inheritances are no longer worth cultivating, so they are indeed meaningless to us now."

"but……"

"As I just said, all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

"Yes." Liu Huang'er blinked her beautiful eyes and said:

"If immortals are real, then the myriad worlds must also be real, and there must be worlds similar to ours?"

“Not bad.” Pei Jingque nodded.

"When the great calamity came, all the immortals perished, the passages between the realms collapsed, and the ancient records disappeared."

"But there's always a reason why I'm so convinced."

The two looked on intently.

“Long ago, in our world, besides the Jade Void Sect, there were two other major sects: the Five Elements Sect and the True Word Sect, both of which were lineages of immortals.”

Pei Jingque looked at Zhu Ju and said:

"These three major sects all possess methods that span across countless realms."

"Before the interdimensional passage collapsed, the powerful figures of the three major sects attempted to leave this place for the Immortal Realm, which has more abundant cultivation resources. Whether they succeeded or not is unknown, but after that, the Five Elements Sect and the True Word Sect lost their lineage, and the Jade Void Sect's strength slowly declined due to the loss of its top experts, until even the Nascent Soul Respects no longer emerged."

"It is said..."

"There is a passage or method to leave this world in a certain secret realm of the Shingon sect."

"That's why the disciples of the Jade Void Sect have been searching for him. Senior Song Jie is one such person. About a hundred years ago, the Ming Void Sect detected the anomaly using the methods passed down from the Jade Void Sect."

A hundred years ago?
Zhu Ju's heart moved.

Isn't that when this body of mine was born?
He can travel to other worlds!

Could it be related to this?
"It is said."

Pei Jingque said:

"In the secret realm of the True Word Sect, there exists a celestial artifact that can transport people to other worlds."

"If we can succeed..."

"Even if we don't fight against the demonic path, we can still avoid this calamity by taking our sect disciples to other worlds."

*
*
*
Liu Huang'er has already left.

Only Pei Jingque and Zhu Ju remained in the side hall.

"Junior brother, you are calmer than I expected."

Pei Jingque spoke slowly:
"Or do you not believe we can find the secret realm of the True Word Sect and locate that legendary immortal artifact?"

"Nobody knows what will happen in the future," Zhu Ju shook his head.
"Compared to that, I'm more focused on the present."

Immortal weapon?

Even if he found a celestial artifact, it would only allow him to travel through time, which he can do right now.

However, it's impossible to bring many people, and the time spent in the other world is limited.

However, Pei Jingque should already have some clues, and perhaps he really will be able to find that immortal artifact.

"Too!"

Pei Jingque, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. He nodded and laid out the items one by one:

"This is what we got from the nest of the Rock Armored Crocodile."

"Junior brother destroyed a second-tier formation and a magic weapon as a result. Choose one of them first."

Broken sword, ruined tower, stalagmite, innate spiritual milk, and a portion of the flesh and blood of the third-tier demon beast, Rock Armored Crocodile.

Although they look tattered and worn, they are undoubtedly good things.

"Senior Sister also suffered considerable losses," Zhu Ju said, but did not refuse, picking up the porcelain bottle containing the innate spiritual milk:

"This item is useful to me, so I won't be polite."

Pei Jingque looked surprised.

Innate spiritual milk is certainly a good thing, but it is not very useful for cultivators at the Dao Foundation stage.
